Pre-script: If you don't want to support this shaming effort, that's fine, but calls to "calm down" are not needed; thanks in advance. This is a discussion of DOING something, not a discussion of what NOT to do. We're all adults here and should understand that our actions can actually mean something. To those who don't agree with this effort then please do what your momma taught you: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anthing at all. As well, as a reminder of the power of maintaining civility in any DU discussion, if posters don't seem to be adding to the conversation, please be aware that you have the option of putting that person on your ignore list. Just click the ignore icon on one of their posts. It works for me! :) Can you believe it, this guy was (is?) a Democrat who was with Bill Clinton as de facto Press Secretary AND a leading member of the 1992 Clinton campaign?
Obviously George Stephanopoulos (GS) is bent in some way.
We can expect the rest of the MSM to bury their shameful heads in the sand but here's some very COMPELLING facts about GS you might not know that make his LACK of comment on Colbert's scathing humor, and especially his "Press Conference" video, STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB!
All of these show that he went AGAINST EVERYTHING HE IS to NOT mention COLBERT!- We already know GS is "press" and actually did actually DID press conferences, so Colbert was right up his alley, unlike the rest of the talking heads.
- "In December 2005, ABC News officially named him Chief Washington Correspondent" So we KNOW he HAD to be there last night to see all this with his own eyes.
- His wife IS A COMEDIENNE!!! Likely she was there with GS last night, so its ridiculous to think Colbert's performance would not be appreciated in their household on a PROFESSIONAL COMEDY level!
- GS is a Rhodes Scholar, which is supposed to be for people with, get this, these upstanding qualities: "truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship;" and "moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an interest in one's fellow beings"
For GS, a man in the "perfect storm" of being a supporter of Colbert and at least throwing him a bone, it's obvious he had to bend himself into a pretzel to only show the asinine comedy that came before Colbert even had a chance to speak TRUTH TO POWER.
This is a glaring example of the failure of the "media" to act as anything but SUPPRESSORS OF TRUTH.
Email GS, "This Week", and ABC to let them know we see the cowardice!
PLEASE WRITE THEM AND ASK YOUR FRIENDS TO DO SO --
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO SHAME "THIS WEEK" and REMIND GS that he's held to a higher standard than the rest of the MSM idiots, and that the world his two little girls are growing up in DEPEND ON THE TRUTH BEING SPOKEN OUT!!
Their email is thisweek@abc.com or their response form is at http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html?cat=Other-News as well if you wanted you can shame them snail-mail style here: ABCNews, 7 WEST 66th Street, New York, NY 10023. Maybe send a picture of your little kids and tell him that you depend on people like him so the world they grow up into will be BETTER not WORSE!
He/they need to be put ON NOTICE!! They're WORSE than the BEARS! If they don't shape up they'll be going on the DEAD TO ME BOARD!!
Please K and or R since you don't need any foil to see this conspiracy, even if it's just between George and himself!
The FACTS of the GS case: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Wentworth and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodes_Scholarship and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Stephanopoulos...

Though he had been rejected for the scholarship during his senior year at Columbia, Stephanopoulos was successful in his second attempt. While at Oxford, Stephanopoulos earned a master's degree in theology at Balliol College. He reported spending much of his time trying to root his political leanings in deeper philosophies that he studied while at Oxford. ... Rhodes Scholar StandardsThe requirements for applicants are high. Rhodes' legacy specified <these> standards by which applicants were to be judged: - truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship;
